holiday snap

Just a little holiday snap from us... we're here - enjoying the holidays... :)

As you can see... hehe - we're staying in a little unit/hotel for a couple of days with Mateus' mum and sister... will post more photos soon! :)

moonchild

 Perfect.

I feel like that top photo today... and I wouldn't mind being where she is... and I wouldn't mind having those clothes... (bit lumberjacky I know, but thats cool)

Moonchild

Awesome name for the brand too hey?

final countdown

So - am on the final days before holidays now... which is why I've been a bit slack on the posting front.

The number of to-do lists scribbled on post-its and in my diary and on my phone is quite funny... but it works...

Couple that with uni semester starting just the other week... and also my first assignment which was due last friday, been rather busy. Managed to get my assignment done - thanks to the fact that I was quiet at work... so thats one down. I'm doing a drawing class this semester, did I say that earlier? Not sure.. but in any case that should be fun.. I haven't done any of the drawings yet, but I will... have to do a self-portrait and a drawing of my hand and other things. Should be able to work on that while I'm away. I bought all the pencils and charcoal and pens and everything that I need for the subject last week - which was like shopping for new books for school... remember that? getting new books and pens and everything for school? :)

To top everything off - I also have an interview before I fly! Haha... I got a call on Friday, from a company on the coast - and they want to interview me for a position they have, admin/secretary position - I actually applied for another position in that company, and was shortlisted, but not called for interview. Anyway, they have another job going and would like to interview me for it before I go away... So, I've got an interview on Saturday morning at 7.30am... on the coast... Which hopefully will go well. The Managing Director is competing in a triathlon on Saturday, so can only see me before he starts that... which will be funny - he's already apologised for not being dressed in businesslike clothes... Here's hoping it goes well, as it would be a dream to move to the coast... :)

I will sign off with that day dream... (sorry for all the words...)

wind

I love wind - and i just found these two interesting things... (yes, i'm really busy here today! heheh)

A power flower!

People think those massive wind turbines are ugly - I quite like them... but, if you are one of those that think the turbines are ugly, check this out: a power flower. Designed to be installed wherever there is wind, without affecting the views...

A wind knitting factory!

A machine powered by the wind that knits scarves - after a while the knitted material is 'harvested' and you can purchase a scarf knitted by the wind... ooO I want one! The scarf comes with a little note saying how long it took to knit and when it was knitted.

radness

Rad - rad - rad

Deus Ex Machina

Commuter Cycles

Go there - see the awesomness - two workshops/shops
One day... :)

daily

Everyday I come into work and the first thing I do after turning on my computer (and unstacking the dishwasher, putting the newspaper out, turning on the presentation screen, tidying the kitchen etc) is head on over to the etsy website to have a look at the pretty things I could buy, and then have a read of their blog posts.

They have a few really good post series' going, namely "Quit your dayjob", the "How Tuesday"'s are good too.. and actually most of it is good.. but the quit your dayjob is drool worthy.. haha..

Just today, they have a sweet little how tuesday post on making paper beeswax boats, they look like fun...

:) Something I would like to make with the nieces...

A nice little quit your dayjob post that makes me want to quit my dayjob...

Can't wait to get home and watch the video Handmade Portraits on reviving vintage motorcycles... (i can't watch these from work.. boo!)

And then I am inspired by this girls style:

Featured Seller Squirrelicious. I like her leggings and shorts and dreads and jacket and bike... haha and her bathmats that she makes, they look like a nice addition to a bathroom... plus she draws cute birds...

inspiration

today's inspiration:

free plant for my desk at work - to improve my plant/life balance... thats pretty awesome i think...



this cafe looks like a nice place to be... still daydream of running one... heh



this magazine is super super cool - i just subscribed.. makes me want to go and ride my bike and set up shop. haha



I also just bought this zine - because it looks like it will be a good read too... :)



Just some randoms from my world today.
